Join Denise Hill and Lauren Smith to create an image using the 1920s parlor game Exquisite Corpse in which one person begins drawing a creature, then the next person continues the drawing without being able to see what was drawn before. Once the drawing in finished, participants will envision through writing the world in which such a creature would live.

Denise Hill teaches writing and mythology at Delta College. She loves listening to audio books about women and science (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lax, Lab Girl, Hidden Figures), brain research and nature (Nature Fix), and human behavior (The Power of Habit). She is also excited for the next season of His Dark Materials.

Lauren Smith, Associate Professor of English, holds an MFA in nonfiction from Bennington College. Her essays have appeared in New Madrid, Umbrella Factory, Prick of the Spindle, The Writer’s Chronicle, The Clackamas Literary Review, Unusual Efforts, and elsewhere. She contributed to the Six-Word Memoirs anthology, The Best Advice in Six Words (“Don’t poof your hair. Just don’t.”). Her interests range from introversion, to soccer, to intersectionality.
